Chapter 123: No mercy, but tolerance
This is the first time that Xu Mo has come into contact with the kind of original existence in the void that exists in a higher realm. In Xu Mo's own words, it refers to the 'fisherman' level.
It was really scary. Even though Xu Mo was chatting and laughing just now, if he was not careful, he would be sent back to the Octagonal Pavilion in an instant.
If you really take action, you won't have the ability to resist at all.
But for Xu Mo, this is a good thing.
First of all, he gained knowledge. The existence of the 'fisherman' level is currently the strongest level that Xu Mo can feel and come into contact with. Going above and beyond, he can't see clearly, let alone reach.
Let’s not mention it for now.
Also, this 'fisherman' likes his own poems very much.
He even gave one as a gift in return.
Thinking about Han Xuan's expression just now, you will know that this is a huge benefit.
You can ask him.
"Fellow Daoist Han Xuan, this scroll is..." Xu Mo noticed that the scroll Han Xuan was holding in his hand was very similar to the scroll in his hand.
Almost exactly the same.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, congratulations." Han Xuan stepped forward and took a look at the scroll in Xu Mo's hand.
Xu Mo asked: "Why are you so happy?"
"You don't have to die tonight, isn't this a happy event?" Han Xuan said with a smile.
Later, Xu Mo figured it out. Even though he had mastered the Tingting Sword before and even won the sympathy and understanding of everyone, the law is the law and there is no room for mercy.
"The law is not merciful, but you have the power. Don't say, fellow Taoist, that you just indulged in murder, it is really you who did it. Now that you have received the poetry scroll given by the Immortal Saint, the boss will not dare to sentence you anymore. If he kills you,
, doesn’t it mean that we don’t give face to the ancestors, but with the views of those ancestors... ahem, that, you understand, right?” Han Xuan said in a low voice.
"Understood!" Xu Mo nodded heavily, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
Look at the boss over there, he has a sad look on his face.
He didn't say anything, he seemed to be thinking, but it was difficult to find an answer. He sat there holding his head, thinking hard.
At this time, the clerk with a very low presence next to him walked over and whispered a few words to the boss, who's eyes lit up.
At that moment, he sat behind the case again and said: "The case of Liang Wenhou is complicated, and there is another inside story. Xu Mozhai has a kind heart and noble moral character. It has been verified that he is not the murderer. This case still needs to be investigated."
I'm going!
Xu Mo was dumbfounded. This method of confusing right and wrong was completely concealed.
Is this okay?
Han Xuan next to him whispered: "We are all on our own, so there is no need to hide them."
The boss said, the master over there keeps records.
"The murderer is someone else. Han Xuan, you are the first arrester of the Zhengqi Department. You have an unshirkable responsibility to track down the key culprit. You must arrest the real culprit who killed Liang Wenhou before dawn."
Han Xuan stepped forward to accept the order.
"Xu Mo, the Zhengqi Department still needs a second catcher, would you like to do an errand?"
Unexpectedly, there would be an unexpected surprise next.
This is a hidden plot triggered.
Although Xu Mo still doesn't know how he triggered it, nor why the other party suddenly thought of recruiting him into the Zhengqi Department, nor what impact this will have.
But for Xu Mo, this is a 'game' that can be 'restarted' and can be tried in various situations.
The reason he didn't know just now will be known to him sooner or later after joining the Zhengqi Division.
So Xu Mo nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, Han Xuan told Xu Mo that those who were favored by the First Sage or who could borrow the power of the First Sage would be recruited by the Zhengqi Department. This was the rule.
"This has been the case since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, and it has been followed to this day."
Xu Mo asked Han Xuan: "When the Great Xia Dynasty was founded, was there a Zhengqi Division?"
Han Xuan shook his head: "It was the same in the previous dynasties, and it was the same in the previous dynasties. All the ancestors are the cornerstones of humanity, and they are all students of the true immortals. Dynasties can be replaced, but the Righteous Department will last forever."
Xu Mo knew that the 'true immortal' that Han Xuan spoke of should be the master who wiped out all the states in the Central Plains eight hundred years ago and created peace in the land.
Xu Mo was very interested in this, so he asked Han Xuan to learn more about it, and Han Xuan talked all the way.
"By the way, where are we going?"
After coming out of the Zhengqi Department, Xu Mo followed Han Xuan. The other party didn't say what he was doing. At this moment, when he arrived at a quiet and deep alley, Xu Mo remembered to ask.
"Didn't the boss just say that he wanted me to catch the real culprit who killed Liang Shangshu?"
"It's really vicious..."
"The real murderer is inside." Han Xuan led Xu Mo in, walked around, went down the stairs, and entered the dungeon.
Yes, this is a prison.
There was a section that was so dark that you couldn't even see.
However, Han Xuan actually opened his mouth and seemed to be talking to someone.
"Lao Fu, how are you doing?"
"It's fine, me? I'm fine. I'm just running errands for the boss. By the way, let me introduce you. This is the new second arrester in the company, Xu Mo, Mr. Xu."
"Okay, let's talk some other time. Please open the door for me first."
From the beginning to the end, Han Xuan was the only one talking, and Xu Mo heard no other voices.
The next moment, a stone door was opened in the distance.
Vaguely, Xu Mo saw a rickety figure, which just flashed past and disappeared into the darkness.
After entering, Xu Mo asked what was going on.
"Just now, I just heard you talking alone, talking to yourself?"
"No, Lao Fu speaks in a higher pitch, so you can't hear it, but you can hear it if you touch it more."
Xu Mo suddenly realized.
Look here again, it is indeed a prison.
Han Xuan said that the Zhengqi Division had captured some immortal cultivators, and all the evil spirits and strange objects would be thrown here.
"Take a while and I'll pick a prisoner on death row. I'll slap the crime on his head. He'll be held in court first, and then he'll be taken out and executed. Liang Wenhou's matter will be considered settled."
Apparently I had done this job a lot before.
Xu Mo thought about it and knew that this was a last resort.
Xu Mo learned a lot about things on the road just now.
For example, the Chief of Zhengqi only obeys the orders of the emperor. This is the order of the ancestors and is called to assist the emperor. The "old man" Han Xuan mentioned before is the emperor of the emperor now.
"Actually, there are different types of people. Some have strong abilities and prestige. Let's be respectful and do our jobs well. If we meet a cowardly king and mediocre lord, we can scold him behind his back. We don't have many rules. Strictly speaking, we inherit from the ancestors.
Just listen to the boss's orders, even if you have contact with the old man, it is the boss's business."
"Now this old man doesn't like evil spirits cultivating immortals. He strongly rejects it. He even doesn't like Zhengqi Division, but when he encounters some things, he still has to count on us to handle them. But not everything can be accomplished.
For example, today, I was going to kill you, but you have to be favored by the First Saint, so I definitely can't kill you, but things have to be done, so I found a scapegoat for the unlucky guy, went through the process, and finished the job. Over there, the boss
, so that I can serve as an errand to the old man."
Xu Mo expressed his understanding.
yes.
A little dark.
Even, it is unfair.
But how else?
Could it be that he stuck his head out and said that for the sake of fairness and justice, I must be beheaded?
That's a disease!
